How Do You Use Ripbot264

[PrincipalityFusion]

Have any of you been using the latest version of Ripbot 264 to shrink your Blu Ray only movies. I decided to give it a go this past weekend to get my Blu Rays down to 720p (the native resolution of my projector). Anyways, it did produce an .mkv file in the system folder, even though i told it to produce a BluRay in a totally different folder.

So i'm wondering if any of you can give a simple step by step on how to use this thing. I basically want to take my ISO movie only images that are still in 1080p and shrink them to 720p. I would like to keep the high definition sound (if possible), but am willing to convert to AC3 if need be. The output structure should be BluRay (there is a radial button on the UI you can select for this).

Considering i ended up with an .MKV file that played badly in Media Player, does anyone know if the default options need to be tweaked to get good results. I didn't change anything except the final resolution from 1080 to 720.

when you get below 1440x1080 it is no longer blu-ray......techincally. so no you wouldnt be able to keep it in blu-ray format.

Let me clarify. I would like to keep it in the m2ts container and the AVC/H264 codec with either the high definition soundtrack or the high def soundtrack converted to AC3 if it's not possible to keep the high def soundtrack.

Then i would like to wrap all that up in the blu ray folder structure, you know... the BDMV folder with the CERTIFICATE folder, etc.

Or someone could tell me why reducing the resolution to 720 does not allow you to use the Blu Ray structure, which somehow doesn't make sense to me:confused:

Yes it is, Blu-ray can be 1280x720p it's part of the standard

I once use Ripbot264 to recode Bluray and HDDVD to mkv. The end result of HDDVD is fine but Bluray is not. Don't know why it read the source as 480i @ 29.97fps so the mkv is all mess up. Move to Mediacoder and everything is fine.

I normally use eac3toGUI to convert sound to DD and use tsmuxerGUI to create BDMV and CERTIFICATE folder then burn to DVD with Imgburn as AVCHD for PS3 playback.
